Chapter 70 Detained in the Palace
On the other side, Ling Xiao carried Su Nanyi out of the palace and asked as he walked, "Su, how are you now?"

Seeing that he was really worried, and knowing that this was the best opportunity to leave the palace, Su Nanyi immediately pretended to be very sad and said, "My stomach is very uncomfortable. Your Majesty, please take me back to the palace. I want to rest."

Ling Xiao showed a distressed expression in front of Su Nanyi for the first time. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I will take you back to the palace right away."

Unfortunately, their wish could never be fulfilled, as the emperor and his men soon caught up with them.

"Fifteenth Master, there are imperial doctors and royal physicians in the palace. If you carry Princess Rong back home like this, you don't have to worry about anything happening to her along the way."

As soon as the emperor came out, he spoke to Ling Xiao who was hurrying in front of him.

Ling Xiao's eyes darkened. This meant that they were to be kept in the palace. Although he was unwilling, he had to stop. The emperor had spoken, and he could not force his way in.

So he turned around and said, "Yier is fine, she just feels a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she wants to go back and rest. I will carry her back right away."

"There are so many rooms in the palace, isn't there a place for her to rest? If something happens during her stay, what will everyone say about me?"

The emperor pointed to the side room of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and said, "There are many rooms over there. Why bother to go to the far side? Go there quickly."

This was going to force them to stay. Ling Xiao pursed his lips and stared at the emperor, tightening his grip on Su Nanyi's hand.

If they didn't leave the palace in a hurry, the emperor's people would come to Prince Rong's mansion and he would have to watch even if they gave him a dragon robe.

At that time, they would say that he had his own army and was planning to rebel, and in order to save his life, he would have to hand over his military command.

However, once the military tokens were handed over, their death was imminent.

Today is a dead end, and it is the biggest crisis Ling Xiao has faced since he grew up.

As the emperor spoke, he had already come up to them, looking concerned and considerate, not allowing Ling Xiao to refuse.

"Old Fifteen, why are you still standing there? Don't you see that Princess Rong is looking unhappy?"

At this moment, the Queen also came over with the Queen Mother.

Su Nanyi, nestled in Ling Xiao's arms, couldn't say that her stomach felt uncomfortable, nor could she say that she didn't feel uncomfortable. She sighed deeply in her heart, thinking that she would probably not be able to leave the palace this time.

She gently pulled Ling Xiao's sleeve, and Ling Xiao lowered his head and glanced at her. Their eyes met, and they unexpectedly had a tacit understanding at this moment.

Ling Xiao nodded: "Okay then, thank you Your Majesty, Mother for your concern."

Then he carried Su Nanyi to the side hall.

Immediately, a palace servant came over, opened the door of a room for him, and let them in.

But as soon as they entered, there were several palace maids and eunuchs standing at the door. However, people who were experts could see that these eunuchs and palace maids were all skilled in martial arts.

"You stay here and guard well. If Prince Rong and Princess Rong need anything, you must serve them well."

The emperor, the empress dowager and others also followed, and the emperor said something with a double meaning.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we servants obey your command."

Several palace maids and eunuchs responded immediately.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and then came into the room.

Ling Xiao had already placed Su Nanyi on the bed. When he saw the emperor and his friends coming in, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Brother, Queen Mother, and Sister-in-law."

The emperor said gently, "I came here to tell you that your concubine and aunt, your sister-in-law, have already made arrangements. You don't have to worry about them. Just take good care of your princess."

Ling Xiao's heart tightened when he heard this, and he immediately understood that they were putting him under house arrest first, waiting for something to happen in Prince Rong's mansion. He looked at the emperor's dark circles, his eyes darkened, and he said, "Thank you, brother."

The emperor waved his hand at him and said, "There's no need to be polite between us brothers. The imperial physician will be here soon. Let Princess Rong take a look first. If you are worried, just leave the imperial physician here."

Ling Xiao snorted in his heart. There was no need for them to be polite to each other. They had been fighting with each other since they were young. They had never been polite to each other.

He bowed and said, "That's great. Thank you, brother."

The emperor waved his hand again and glanced at Su Nanyi lying on the bed. Then they left the room, winked at the palace maids and eunuchs guarding on both sides, and left.

Their goal had been achieved. It didn't matter whether the empress dowager's birthday banquet was held or not. As for the royal relatives who had not left yet, they were allowed to have their meal. Those who wanted to leave could leave, while those who didn't want to leave could chat with the empress dowager and share her joy.

On the other side, Li Yuzhu and Yun Yuerou were also taken to a side hall by the emperor's men and asked to rest there for a while.

I also went to invite the imperial physician.

The scene that happened in the hall before also frightened Yun Yuerou a little.

The queen said that she was worried that she might have a miscarriage, so she considerately asked the imperial physician to come for her.

Of course Li Yuzhu could understand that the Queen's intentions were not pure. She was afraid that Yun Yuerou's fetus could not be saved. However, she was completely unaware of this and was still complacent. At this moment, she was provoking Li Yuzhu with a smug look.

Li Yuzhu sneered and spat out two words at her: "Idiot."

Then he turned his head away and ignored Yun Yuerou, thinking about how to break the current deadlock.

This sudden incident caught her off guard and disrupted all her plans.

Besides, being sent here to be with a fool like Yun Yuerou, it wouldn't be easy for me to sneak away even if I wanted to.

Yun Yuerou was so angry that she was half dead. Li Yuzhu actually called her a fool. How was she stupid? Even if she was stupid, how could she get rid of the baby in this bitch's belly?

Tsk, you are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. This is clearly because you are jealous of her.

Just when Li Yuzhu was racking her brains, the eunuch finally invited the imperial physician into the palace and brought him to Ling Xiao.

The imperial physician's surname was Zhu, and she was best at treating infants, young children and women's diseases.

After he came in, he bowed to Ling Xiao and said, "Your humble servant greets Prince Rong and Princess Rong."

"Please stand up, Doctor Zhu. I'd like to trouble you to take a look at the princess."

Ling Xiao naturally knew Doctor Zhu, but Doctor Zhu was not his man. He thought that it should be fine if he just took Su Nanyi's pulse.

At this moment, Su Nanyi was thinking about how to refuse Doctor Zhu from taking her pulse. If the emperor knew that she was pregnant with twins, she would have to find a way to get rid of the pregnancy as soon as possible.

While he was thinking, Doctor Zhu came over and bowed: "Greetings to Princess Rong."

Su Nanyi pursed her lips and said, "Please get up, Imperial Doctor Zhu. I'm afraid your trip will be in vain. I've rested for a while and I'm fine now."

She could only use such a lame excuse to refuse Doctor Zhu's request to take her pulse.

"It's okay. I'm here now, so I'll just take a look at Princess Rong and let everyone feel at ease, right, Prince Rong, Princess Rong."

Doctor Zhu stood up and waved his hand, saying that when he came, the eunuch had told him what the emperor meant. When he heard Su Nanyi say this, he knew that she was refusing to take her pulse.
